Default SGT diesel block heater

Happy New Year first of all!!!
Well to day i installed a block heater on the 1572. It was a pain in the arse but got it! Man what a difference it is in starting!!! No glow plugs required now!!!

Had to cut a 2 inch hole in the fan support to get access to the soft plug. After destroying 3 hole saws (this must be made of AR plate) I finally got the torch out and finished the rest of the hole. 4 O-rings later i finally got it sealed. But i think this is gonna pay for itself. It only cost me $32 and 3 hours!

i have a 70's JD diesel utility tractor and if it gets into the 40's forget about starting the thing. came from the factory with no glow plugs, do not know what the engineers were thinking but for cold weather it has an ether injection system which i refuse to use, once you start using either i think they become addicted to it and next thing you know you will be gassing it in the summer. i found the easiest thing for me was a heater on the lower radiator hose.http://www.ebay.com/itm/LOWER-COOLAN...item1c21ff48ab

i can go out there when it is zero and plug it in for an hour and it fires right up,i can tell you that it warms the block almost as well as a block heater and 2 hose clamps to replace it.
just thought i would mention it for any one as an alternative to a block heater

alot of them had the either injection which i dont like the idea either! That heater you got is a great way to go. I went this route cuz its the most ideal way with warming the head and it does warm the radiator some. But your right n that heater tho too!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
